Volkswagen clutches are known for being quite pricey, and I often caution my friends and family against the expense of "German engineering" when they're watching their wallets. With the Golf Mk4 line, you can expect to run into clutch problems that can be costly. Besides the clutch completely failing, a common issue is leaking fluid. You might also experience a reduced clutch range, meaning it won't engage until it's almost pressed all the way to the floor. This could be due to a faulty throwout bearing or a bent clutch pedal lever. It's important to also check for any problems with the pivot ball that the arm pivots on.
Fluid leakage caused by a malfunctioning clutch pedal is an issue in the 2018 Volkswagen Golf Mk4.
